Which spark plugs are best for me?

[FlatlineGA]

I'm not really concerned about performance since I only have an intake, but I ordered some Taylor plug wires, so I figured I would order some spark plugs to add to my mod list. I saw that NGK had 5 different applications for this car and engine, but I wasn't sure which one would be right for me. These are the names and part numbers:

V-Power TR55
G-Power Platinum TR55GP
Laser Platinum PTR4B-15
OE Laser Iridium ITR4A15
Iridium IX TR55IX

Any suggestions? I'm not set on NGK, but I have heard good things about them. Thanks.

AC Delco.

That is what came in it from the factory. While people on here may argue/discus about what oil is best, or which brake pads are the best...etc......

For the most part all agree AC Delco's just seem to work best in there motors.

:iagree:

Either AC Delco or the NGK TR55IX Iridiums. Both will work great in the 3x00. So-called 'perfomance' plugs do not seem to work well with the waste-spark ignition system.

All i have learned is never use Bosch(sp?). i called some shops when i first got the car and all they insisted on using was AC Delco with the GAs.

One mechanic actually said he would come over and smack me if i used anything else. :lol: Hes such a nice guy.

My family has 3 Chevys and my Grand Am. My dad is a mechanic and swears by the AC Delco Platnum plugs for the engines in all of them.

Since no one responded at first I got NGK V-Power plugs. If they mess up, I'll know to get AC Delco!

[doobiess]

when i first got my car it had ngk v grove and they worked great specially the condition they are in... and as for the spark plug.. Id say its more of what people in there heads.. i have champion and ac delco.. they are all the same.. only need a different plug if you run boost or nitrous

Since when? If anything it would be Champion, not NGK. (AC = Albert Champion, founder of Champion)

So a friend of a friend told you, and now you're spreading the info as fact?

I actually have no proof to dispute your claim, but I can't find any information to back up your claim either. You can believe it if you want, but I'll take it with a grain of salt for now.

It isn't written on the AC Delco platinums I just bought for my Sunfire.

[nino_neg]

whats the difference between iridium and platinum spark blugs?

[12DMN8]

every ac delco plug i have bought does say NGK on them.the factory platinums are only for long life.the best for a stock to near stock vehicle.the tr55 ngk plugs are best for saving money.$7.51 for six of them as compared to $3.99 a plug for the platinum.i have run both and had no problems with either one.

[PontiacGT]

I'm running the Bosch platinums.....didn't notice any difference whatsoever. I guess I'd get the regular Delcos for the next change.

[RedhotGT94]

im runnin ac delco rapid fire spark plug in my 94 and i love them they worked great with the msd wires when i pulled my old sparkplus out it had ac delco in the front and bosch platnims in the rear (someone didnt wat to change the back ones)
